What’s in a last name?
I was born a … Venezio
I grew up a …. Venezio
My mother was a …. Nesgood
Her mother was a ….. Cavanaro (funny story about this – my grandma’s brothers changed their last name to “Cavanaugh” when they enlisted in the military. Apparently having an Italian last name was a bad thing?)
My father was a ….. Venezio
His mother was a ….. Markwell (my mom says this was changed at Ellis Island, likely from – forgive my spelling – Machiavelli)
And now I am a ….. Preston
